KCR's Dilemma Over Somesh

KCR's Dilemma Over Somesh

In places where the TRS does not have a significant presence, the Party is encouraging defections from rival camps.

Similarly, in Hyderabad, a majority of municipal councilors the TRS will be fielding in the GHMC polls are those who have deserted their Parties to join the TRS. And here lies the dilemma for KCR.

These corporators want KCR to sack Somesh Kumar, the GHMC Commissioner over the property tax issue.

The Commissioner has put in a new mechanism for the collection of property tax and has been very strict in coming down on defaulters. This has witnessed a 5% rise in collections to the tune of nearly Rs 800 crore. But the corporators feel that such strict measures have made him unpopular with the public and want hi removed before the polls.

KCR on the other hand likes Somesh who he thinks is a very capable and good official. Yet he cannot ignore the corporators either who will be at the frontline soon when they contest in the elections soon.
